The video takes us to ancient times; Li Er transforms into the Tongtian Emperor of Shu Han.

[I stepped into Chang'an once again.]

Huang Chao was no longer as lenient as before.

When he first entered the city, his sword was only aimed at the powerful and influential families.

Then this second entry into the city was an indiscriminate sweep of the city!

Leave no survivors, from top to bottom!

"Since you can't forget this corrupt Tang Dynasty, then let's all be buried with it!"

Huang Chao's ferocious appearance was etched into everyone's mind.

Perhaps, a person like him is not fit to be a qualified emperor, but he can be himself without restraint.

After the soldiers looted the city, if he had just been a little more patient, the people of Chang'an would have made the right choice.

Unfortunately, he wasn't a very patient person.

The scene depicts a massacre that left Chang'an City in ruins, a city utterly desolate and devoid of any semblance of its former glory.

What did the people do wrong?

They didn't seem to have done anything wrong.

When Huang Chao first entered Chang'an, even though he did not commit any offenses against them, he still caused endless bloodshed.

Seeing such a tragic scene, the people naturally hoped that the court could restore stability.

That's correct.

Their mistake was that the current court was no longer worthy of their trust.

Whether it's the emperor who is high above or a general who comes from the ranks, they will not really take them seriously!

On the contrary, from the perspective of generals, allowing troops to plunder is actually beneficial to boosting the morale of soldiers, and can even be considered a reward!

After they captured Chang'an, they distributed the people of Chang'an as a reward to their soldiers!

Li Er turned his head away, somewhat reluctant.

These are all people of his Great Tang Dynasty!

Moreover, even at the end of the Tang Dynasty, the people were still willing to believe in the court!

His eyes were already bloodshot.

Do you hate Huang Chao?

It is something to hate!

But what he hated even more was the imperial army that was supposed to recapture Chang'an!

How dare they let their soldiers plunder the people!

You are the imperial army, not bandits!

If they hadn't let their guard down, and had been able to promptly investigate Huang Chao's army's movements, they would never have allowed him to re-enter Chang'an so easily!

"The people didn't actually do anything wrong."

Old Zhu's gaze also held a hint of helplessness.

No matter how you look at it, Huang Chao's army is still a rebel army.

The Tang Dynasty, which lasted for more than two hundred years, held a very important place in their hearts.

"Since you trusted the wrong person, you should bear the consequences yourself."

Ying Zheng remained dismissive of these people's remarks.

From beginning to end, he never thought Huang Chao had done anything wrong.

On his first trip into the city, he did not commit any offenses, yet he was betrayed by everyone.

Therefore, when he entered the city a second time, he would not need to hold back at all.

If he doesn't display his authority, who will fear him?

"That's why we've never liked you. If the decisions made by the people are all right, then what's the point of having you as emperor?"

"They will naturally know who treats them well, but you have to give them time to accept you."

Old Zhu was so angry that he started to argue back.

Looking at the whole of history.

Apart from Zhang Jiao, who was able to gain the support of the vast majority of the people when he started a rebellion.

Even the rebels, like the rest, needed to prove to the people time and time again that they were genuinely good to them.

Is it really that easy to gain the support and trust of the people?

You are just a rebel who has risen to power in recent years. Why do you think that the trust you have in the hearts of the people can be compared with that of the Tang Dynasty, which lasted for hundreds of years?

But no matter how much they argue, what has already happened cannot be undone.

They could only watch silently as the people of Chang'an were wantonly slaughtered.

It wasn't until corpses littered the streets of Chang'an that the imperial army, sent to defend the capital, finally arrived.

Ultimately, the Huang Chao Rebellion came to an end due to the resistance of the loyalist army led by the garrison of Fengxiang.

But as everyone sighed, the image on the sky did not disappear.

Time seemed to be flowing backward.

The flow goes back to the time before Li Xuan fled to Western Shu, and before Huang Chao's army broke through Tongguan Pass.

Yet, there was not a trace of tension in the palace.

On the contrary, the expressions on each of their faces were filled with excitement.

"polo?"

Upon seeing one of the objects in the arena, Li Er's expression immediately turned sour.

This reminds me of the title bestowed upon Li Xuan'an by the immortals.

The Polo Emperor.

Could it be related to what's happening in the sky right now?

"I don't know whether to say he's carefree or stupid. With the country on the verge of collapse, he still has the mind to play ball."

Liu Bang scoffed.

"If you enjoy playing so much, why did you become emperor? Being a carefree prince who only needs to play ball all day would be just fine. Why did you have to sit in this position?"

Upon hearing this, Zhao Kuangyin smiled.

"Emperor Gaozu of Han, you may not know this, but being a prince in the Tang Dynasty was a very dangerous job."

"The kind of situation where someone's head could roll at any moment."

"The imperial family of the Li Tang dynasty has been purged several times, and each time those branches that have dispersed have been almost completely slaughtered."

"There was even an emperor who almost slaughtered his entire clan."

Li Er: "?"

What the hell?

How could the royal family of my Great Tang Dynasty have such absurd deeds?

"There was no other way. The emperor moved nine times, and the capital fell six times. Every time the emperor fled, the rebels would slaughter the royal family to vent their anger."

"This is probably why the Tang Dynasty never faced pressure to support the imperial family."

Li Er: "..."

"So what exactly are my descendants?"

He began to have serious doubts about himself.

Is there really such a thing as divine retribution in this world?

Because he killed his own brother, every generation of the Li Tang imperial family after him met a bad end?

"Perhaps it really is retribution. Look at Zhao Heizi, isn't he the same?"

Only by learning from history can we understand the rise and fall of dynasties.

The founding emperor of every dynasty has a tremendous influence on later generations.

The same applies to Zhao Kuangyin. After releasing the military power over a cup of wine, he declared that he would share the world with the scholar-officials, and the Song Dynasty never regained its former glory.

"Therefore, I am aware of this and have already made changes."

Zhao Kuangyin stated that he was a person who could admit his mistakes and correct them.

"But it seems that I have no chance to change things."

Li Er was somewhat distraught.

Even if he had immense power, he couldn't possibly dig Li Jiancheng out of the ground and bring him back to life.

If it was truly because his ascension to the throne was illegitimate that Heaven punished the Li Tang royal family.

How will future generations evaluate him?

"If the immortals take pity on us, then we will naturally have the opportunity to change everything."

"Don't you understand? Every challenge a celestial being faces could be an opportunity for us to redeem ourselves!"

Cao Cao, who had been silent all along, spoke at this moment.

From beginning to end, he felt that the appearance of this canopy was an opportunity!

This is their chance to change their experience!

He had many regrets in his life, such as the Battle of Red Cliffs, Lü Boshe, and Gongtai...

If the immortal is willing to give him a chance, he will certainly not let him down!

"Then let's continue watching."

"I hope that you will give me the opportunity in this challenge."

"The people have such faith in my Great Tang Dynasty, and I want to repay their trust with my own hands!"

"Even if I don't want the reward for this challenge!"
